HS 7, Question

[Cosmo]

I am planning on attending HS 7 coming up next week and they are saying strict no pit riding rules. Now I have read through the rule book multiple times and long story short as long as your have a drivers lic, and at walking speed its permited. However the post made seams like you are not allowed to use your pit vehicals. My concern is my father is disabled is planning on attending the race and has a hard time getting around so I was going to give him an atv to use to get back and forth to portalets and to the race. Am I understanding it right that they are not allowing anyone to use their pit vehicals or just under the rules of no off wheel use, skids, at a walking speed?

Pit riding to them is completely ignoring and disrespecting everyone with your vehicle, such as doing dougnuts, practicing holeshots and being rude (riding through camps hauling ass). They dont care if you are just using your bike/quad to use the bathroom.

Bring your dad and an ATV for him. Him riding it to get around is fine. they don't want what SVT said.
